We saw Little Miss Sensible

We all got up early and set off to Little Miss Sensible's university. Although not as early as we'd hoped as Mr Messy had a really painful stiff neck and headache :-( Throughout the whole journey Little Prince was asking "Are we there yet?" he was slightly distracted by playing with Drama Teen's old Gameboy, but not much!! We stopped off for some lunch on the way, at a lovely cafe Mr Messy and LMS had found previously, but even food couldn't distract Little Prince from his mission of seeing his big sister :-) Although when we finally arrived and he saw her running across the car park to him, he just stood there and was very nonchalant!!! Even though my Baby Bro went to the same university and stayed in the same halls, this is the first time I'd actually been to them. The room was smaller than I'd imagined, and very yellow!!! I think the bright paint is to try and distract you from the state of the building in general - it is being demolished some time soon and brand new buildings are being built. We spent some time in LMS's room and when Little Prince was getting just a bit too bouncy on her bed, we went off for a walk round the town. LMS showed us some of the different university buildings and then we mooched around the shops. We had a meal together in a local cafe, before once again going back to LMS's halls. LMS took Little Prince to meet her friends, and he decided to stay with them and watch Spiderman and sent LMS back to her room for his snack lol. Too soon it was time to say our goodbyes and set off back home. LMS stayed in her room and waved from her window. We sat in the car while Mr Messy sorted out the SatNav, when all of a sudden Little Prince started to sob and huge tears rolled down his cheeks "I miss my LMS" he gulped. I shot out of the car to hug and comfort him, mimed what was happening to LMS who immediately ran down to hug Little Prince herself. That seemed to help and he calmed down again - thank you LMS. I must admit that once LMS was out of sight I cried myself, she is so strong and brave and I'm so proud of her. And I miss her too :-( Little Prince and Drama Teen spent the start of the journey playing on Gameboys or texting (only Drama Teen did that lol!!) until Little Prince started to cry his tummy was hurting. As we were on the motorway with no services anywhere to be seen, we encouraged him to try and sleep, which he did all the rest of the way home. At one point on the motorway I saw a youngish man stood next to his car on the hard shoulder looking as though he was going to run across the three lanes of speeding traffic!!! I had him pegged as a total idiot, until Mr Messy exclaimed that there was a car crashed into the central barrier - the youngish man was obviously trying to reach that car!! I hope the brave man managed to safely reach the crashed car and that he and the occupants of the crash are all ok.
When we got home I put Little Prince straight to bed, which looking back this morning wasn't a good idea as he woke up at 6am!! Drama Teen and Fraulein (who was feeling a lot better after sleeping most of the day) decided to watch Bridge to Terabrithia. Me and Mr Messy didn't fancy watching that, so we had an early night instead, luckily given the time Little Prince woke up this morning!!
